For this one of our sponsor showcase video interviews, for the upcoming Artemis ILS NYC 2022 conference (held April 22nd in New York City), we welcomed Stephan Ruoff, Global Head of Insurance-Linked Securities (ILS) and Mark Gibson, Head of Products and Solutions ILS, both from specialist investment manager Schroders Capital, one of our Gold sponsors for the conference.
As ever, we’re looking at the development of the insurance-linked securities (ILS) market with one eye to the future, as is the way with Artemis’ ILS events. You can register for the event online here: https://www.artemis.bm/ils-nyc-2022/
Speaking to one of the key themes of our upcoming conference, Stephan Ruoff explained the need for the ILS industry to work on providing more predictable outcomes to its investors.
"As an industry we've not done too well over the last five years at creating predictable outcomes, so we need to change that and come back to things like underwriting, structuring, analytics and have these properly set, so that our investors can rely on these predictable outcomes," Ruoff said.
Ruoff explained that delivering on investor expectations is more important than growth for ILS managers.
Mark Gibson further explained the need for the ILS asset class to be increasingly accessible.
"That means providing diverse investment products or strategies for investors to tap into. We have a range of funds already, but we intend to keep broadening that range of funds, so that there's choice," Gibson said.
Listen to the full interview for the pair's thoughts on growth opportunities in the ILS market and the importance of ESG for the asset class.
